Ashelm Loses Against and With Aces
The action was caught on a completed board of 10?K?K?8?A?. With 4,900 in the pot, Robert Ashelm checked under the gun to Oscar Ceron in middle position.
The latter fired a bet of 1,500, which Ashelm raised to 6,500. Ceron tossed in a quick call to see Ashelm table K?J?10?10? for kings full of tens. Ceron showed A?A?9?2? for aces full and raked in the pot with the better boat.
One hand later, Dwayne Sluis, Aleksandar Petrovic, and Ashelm each put in 2,500 preflop in a three-bet pot. Petrovic checked on the J?Q?3? flop before Ashelm bet 6,500.
Sluis made the call while Petrovic quickly got out of the way. Ashelm and Sluis then checked through the 10? turn for Ashelm to fire 6,500 on the 10? river.
Sluis quickly called. Ashelm showed down A?A?8?8? for aces and tens but was beaten by the straight of Sluis, who showed K?Q?J?9?.
